  5. This strikes me, lay person, as a terrible idea. 6 people with blood clots out of 7m is incredibly low. Mentioned getting the J&J shot to a neighbour today. She said: "I hear it's no good." Which is nonsense, but that's what people glean from the FDA statement.

    If the App Store can't even protect you from getting scammed with MEDICAL APPS, then what's even the point? This is just an astounding level of negligence paired with Apple's seal of approval resulting in a multi-million dollar scam that's been going for a long time. YIKES.

    6 cases out of 7 million people. What a disaster. This is going to get people killed. And it's going to create more vaccine hesitancy. These people don't understand cost-benefit analysis. They keep making mistakes by orders of magnitude.
